I don't have lymphodema but this sounds more like it could be from nerves that travel through the arm and chest. I had a lot of similar problems after having lymph nodes removed. My Dr. explaned that in order to get at the nodes a lot of nerves have to be pushed aside and they can sometimes get bruised. Many of the nerves under the arm also radiate to the chest. It should get better with time and healing, it sound as though this was a recent surgery. You should make sure you tell your Dr. when you go or if it gets worse give him a call.
